Beautiful find

The Fish Ladder

I was asked to review by Nudge

Gosh how did I miss this - been published for 3 years.

What a find, so beautifully written by an author whose life has had it's ups and downs to say the least.

She goes on a journey with her daughter to follow a river from sea to the source.

extraordinary memoir/travel/nature with poetry in into the mix. This is about discovering ones self, motherhood and family life written with emotion but also with the beauty of nature.

So many aspects are woven into this story , I particularly liked the Celtic anecdotes and her time in Scotland camping - I could imagine these darn midges.

The author is on a quest to find her birth mother - which readers will find very moving.

An absolute compelling read from beginning to end.

This is the author's first book - what a debut- cannot wait to see what she writes next.
